stahl here. it is becoming my favorite time of year. the fall. i've gotten a new job bartending at this place in brooklyn thats pretty rad. last night we had rehearsal and it was awesome. we have in the range of 15-20 songs we've been working with. some of them you've heard in stages at past shows we've played the past 12 months. last night I think we wrote the one. we kind of paused and devin and i just had a moment of eye contact that said it all. goosebumps and all.

anyway. we had recorded alot of the new stuff but it has all started to change so i'm not totally sure what we are going to do with the recordings, but we plan to hit the studio again in october with final versions of the tunes and go for it. i'm just really excited. i've been living and breathing these crap video camera recorded demos on my ipod for the past 6 months.

the new material is somewhere along the lines of a big mix of switchfoot, the goo goo dolls, snow patrol, foo fighters, the ataris, fall out boy, the fray, u2, jimmy eat world with a touch of american hi-fi.

some dramatic drumming with guitar parts that are giving me goose bumps. the vocals are the best i've ever done i believe. we also have some piano in the mix and some acoustic guitar as well. some of this stuff is heavy, some of it is softer. i told devin that this new tune will end up in the next zach braff love movie.

anyway, just wanted to give somewhat of an update to the world.

<3 stahl, jc and devin
